Project

We are given the freedom to create any project we want to do as long as it is based on the 17 sustainable development goals. This project would be fully individual and we will be working on it for the entire semester. 

My project will be based on the Sustainable Development Goal 3 - "Good Health and Well-being". With the amount of self test kit being used everyday, it creates a huge amount of plastic waste. The self test kit is not user friendly as it creates a lot of confusion when people are trying to understand how to use it. To solve this issue, I will be creating an environment friendly packaging that is much more easier to understand. And I also plan to break the stereotypical medical packaging design in Malaysia.

Ideation & Progress



Final Mockup

To save more on resources, the manual and test tube stand are both integrated into the packaging itself. Once user open the cover, they'll be able to see the instruction manual cover and once they flip it over they will be able to read the manual. They just have to close back the front cover to use the test kit stand. An example can be see in Fig 3 below.

Final Presentation







REFLECTION

Experience

The overall experience has been challenging but also fun. I've always have this fear around packaging design because it looks very complicated and hard to do something unique and interesting. I always think that it may not be my thing. So going into this project setting myself a goal to create a packaging design that is worthy of winning awards is a huge goal for me. Not sure if the final outcome is worthy enough to win anything but I'm still happy in the end that I pushed myself to do this.

Observation

After this whole project is over, I'm starting to think maybe I can still do packaging design. It was very scary but once I just stop thinking and push myself to start the project. Slowly it starts flowing and the fear just slowly fades away. 

Finding

I think just like the module name "Design Exploration", I really explored a lot on this project. The whole time I am just constantly going back and forth with the colors, typeface, design. Thinking "maybe this can be better, hmmm no I'm not happy with it. Why isn't it working, let me try something else." Also constantly printing the product, testing it and feeling it in my own hand. I think that's just how the process of design is, it is challenging and frustrating at times but it's kind of fun as well. I do plan to keep working on this project and hopefully submit it to some competition.

In this module I learnt about Design Research Methodology. I've learned a lot of things such as how to write better, communicate better verbally. I also learned how to develop critical thinking skills, even though I am still very bad at it, but it has been very helpful. What did I enjoy the most? Honestly I enjoyed experiencing the research process. I never really had an opinion and a lot of times my thinking are influenced by my friends. This module forces me to form my own though process and critical thinking, it was very hard and I feel like I am not in my comfort zone, but because I feel uncomfortable I know that I am pushing myself and trying to be better so that really ...
